Please Read Carefully Dear Brothers-SistersAs-Salaamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi
Wabarakatuhu May I for the sake of Allah (swt), His Deen and the Muslim Ummaah,
request you to please consider the following facts very carefully and decide on
your responsibility before Allah (swt) in this matter.I am a revert to Islam. I
was an Ismaili before - a follower of the Aga Khan. And I perceive an important
Da'wah responsibility which the majority of Muslims are for some reason or
other are ignoring.. I am not getting you into petty sectarian issues, but a
very important matter - please judge for yourself: 1. The Ismailis (followers
of the Aga Khan) all professedly believe that the Qur'an was time bound and was
not meant to be a Universal message for all times. They believe that their
spiritual leader, Karim Aga Khan, is the "walking - talking! Qur'an" and his
"religious pronouncements" , whatever they may be, are the "guidance" for the
present times. The fundamental article of faith that there will not be any NEW
revelations or "wahy" after the Qur'an, is being completely violated by the
Ismailis. 2. The Aga Khan has officially Declared himself, before his
followers, as the "Mazhar of Allah on earth". The word "mazhar" means "copy" or
"manifest". Consequently, these Ismailis who call themselves Muslims do
"sujood" before him. So even the primary axiomatic principle of Tawheed is
being fundamentally and formally violated by them. 3. The Ismailis are not
instructed to offer the Islamic Salaah, observe Saum or perform Hajj. They have
replaced Salaah with certain shirk-infested Dua'as (thrice a day). They are
told that their Hajj is a personal "Glimpse" (Deedaar) of Karim Aga Khan. 4.
The Aga Khan and his appointees 'forgive the sins' of the followers on regular
basis. Ismailis are misled into believing that they will not be questioned on
the Day of Judgment for the sins that are already forgiven in their Jamatkhanas
(community centers). Forgiving of sins is the exclusive prerogative and
privilege of Allah (swt) alone. Qur'an 3:135. 5. Against this backdrop, most of
the poor (spiritually poor) Ismailis who are not introduced to al-Furqan are
confused and misguided. Hence, Ismailis are very easy prey to missionary
efforts by various Christian groups and Baha'is. I have known a couple of young
ex-Ismailis who are today preaching "Pauline Christianity" to Ismailis as
evangelical missionaries. 6. Karim Aga Khan's own daughter Zahra having
married a practising Christian has opened the gates for young Ismailis girls to
follow the footsteps of a family member of their beloved Imam-e-Zaman. The
parents of the Ismaili girls who wish to marry outside of Islam have no
recourse but to let them go. 7. The Aga Khan has made Halaal for the Ismailis
that which Allah has made Haraam for the humans. Taking of interest (usury) is
not forbidden by the religious instruction classes run by the "Tariqaah" board
of the Ismailis. As a matter of fact, the much publicized "Venture Capital"
program (details on the website of FORBES Magazine - search under "Aga Khan"),
of loaning funds on interest by the AKFED (Aga Khan Fund & Economic
Development) , has been a great success. Similar entrepreneurial projects are
now being actively promoted and introduced to poor Muslims of Tajikistan and
neighboring areas. 8. The Muslim Ummaah and the various Muslim leaders are not
fully aware of these Un-Islamic acts and beliefs of this community of less than
two million members, who claim to be the Ismaili Muslims. Surprisingly, their
leader Aga Khan claims himself to be a spiritual leader of 15 million Muslims
and a Direct Descendant of Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam). 9.
Earlier, one did not have authentic books on Ismailism, but it is not so
anymore. There are two authentic books as well as one comprehensive web site
exposing the inner practices of the Ismailis and the Proclamations (Farmans) of
the Aga Khans. Hence, now you have no "hujjah" argument or excuse left before
Allah (swt) for not taking up the task of inviting the misguided "Ismaili
Muslims" towards the Deen of Allah (swt) and not safeguarding them from
committing unpardonable sin of Shirk. 10. The Aga Khan in collaboration with so
many Western powers and aid, has set up the world-wide Aga Khan Development
Network (AKDN) which runs several institutions and service companies both in
the profit and not for profit sectors. This network is very actively operating
in Pakistan , India , Tanzania , Uganda , Kenya and Bangladesh , and has now
started concentrating its efforts in Tajikistan and the neighbouring areas
where there is a concentration of Muslims who have not known or openly
practised Islam for the decades. By taking up economical, social, educational
and rural development efforts through NGOs (Non-Govt. Organizations) within the
AKDN, the Ismailis and the Aga Khan have gained wide acceptance amongst these
countries and masses. Hence this urgent appeal. 11. Now all these
beneficiaries are "obliged and grateful" to the Aga Khan and his followers and
his organizations for the much-needed schools, medical centers, hospitals,
various projects and programmes. In this manner they are penetrating and
infiltrating the support system - and one fine day, the Muslim Ummaah will wake
up to the unexpected realization that they have a community of so called
Muslims, practicing the Un-Islamic Tariqaah, in charge of all core and support
activities. Each of these much-needed projects will have the photos of Aga Khan
decorating the walls.In the name of Allah (swt) and Islam, kindly urge our
Brothers and Sisters to do Da'wah to the Ismailis, who otherwise will, on the
day of judgement, hold us responsible for not conveying the Revealed Truth to
them. Dear Brother/Sister, you know much more on the subject than what little
I have learnt since reverting to the Deen of Allah (swt). It hurts to see the
misguided simple minded people die on SHIRK because we did not amply warn them
before their deaths.I am aware of your stature as a religious leader of repute,
respectability and acceptance among Muslim Masses, and hence have sought to put
this appeal to you. I request you to seriously consider this request and
initiate all steps that you consider Wajib and appropriate. To spread the
"Truth" and eradicate "Tagoot" is a significant, major Sunnah of the prophet
(Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam).May I also request you to please forward this
e-mail to at least five (if not all) of your Muslim friends and activists so
that greater awareness of this issue is created, and this request reaches a
wider audience. Please do so. JazakAllah." Received from : Mr. Zulfiqar Hussain
